Richmond MusicaIProfectiye Union

A number of months ago the mem
bcrs of the different musical organiza-
tons of this city, comprising bands,
orchestras, etc, formed a union for
their mutual protection, which, singular
ly TO say, they had never thought of
before, from the time that the musical
organizations Of this city had com
Urised such names as 7. II. Taylor
John i. Allen, FitzRilliam Rozier,
James Evans, William p. b. West, and
others. All of these are gone save Mr.
John T. Allen, formerly Of Allen Il Gin
ter. James Evans was a grand master
of masons in Virginia. Others
named were equally distinguished as
good men and true" Their modern
professional successors have been as
equally entitled TO regard for moral
worth and musical requirements. But
modern requirements have not been Of
the nature of pastime, and that the
professionals should unite in protec-
tive union was but the natural sequence
Of the force Of circumstances.
Last night "Richmond Musical Pro-
tcctiyc Union" the first of its name
with a defined policy, bad its annivcr-
smy celebration at Krausc's Hotel at
1890 o'clock. The committee of inyi-
taticn and preparation, consisting Of
Mcssrs Henry f. Laube, John Baselcr.
and Richard Wagner, were found 10
have amply discharged the duty as
signed them. So had Krause the
caterer. A number Of the members Of
the press of the city, as well as all Of her
musicians, were present; also, Sir
Knight George II. Rhodes, of Taunton,
Mass, member of st. Johns Com
mandcry, Of Providence, r. l., and
past grand master of Rhode Island.
The gathering was eminently social
in its characteristics, and the "Press
March. " composed by Mr.. john Base
Ter, first played, involved in its
execution thiIty of Richmond's best
Icrfoumcrs on brass. The second,
Fest overture, was led by Professor
Jake Reinhardt, with eminent success.

A story Of outrage upon and cruelty
10 n civilized Indian community ON the
mart of the Dominion Of Canada has
lust been made known in Washington
through an application for asylum IN
American territory. About thirty
years ago the Rev. Mr.. Durham, q
Methodist clergyman, went from Lon
don. England, as missionary 10 an In
dian tribe near Fort Simpson, British
Colombia. This post is upon the Pa
cifc, and upon the inlet which d.
vides Colombia from Alaska. The
Indians we're then cannibals. un-
der Mr.. Durham's teachings the tribe
gradually became civilized Last year
they numbered thousand souls. They
live in well-built village, with schools
and churches. Nearly every adult In
dian owns home. They have whaves
and fishing stations and packing
houses. Since these latter were estab-
lished the tribe has received $3p,OcO
for canned salmon shipped to Liver
pool The village was in every respect
well ordered, thoroughly civilized, and
flourishing, but Indians, under Domin-
ion law, cannot hold land. Some
sharks happened TO become acquainted
with the facilities for trade offered at
this place and made entry at British
Colombia land-ofiice of the whole tract.
II was sold to them, and with 1t all The
homes, schools, and packing-houses.
The Indians protested. A elnboat went
mp from Victoria and brought down
eight of the chief men, and they were
thrown into jail. The case was appealed
TO Sir John Macdonald, and he con-
firmed the sale. Application has been
made bv Mr.. Durham, who is in Wash
ington, for permission to have the In
dians move over into Alaska. Senator's
Teller and Plumb have advised that
they move at once without waiting for
official permission, as they are sure to
be given place to live. Meantime
some American tribes in Washington
Territory have invited the despoiled
community TO come down and hive with
them until they can determine what 70
